Re: Stick n Rudder 'scramblin'

LOL. That remark conjurs up some FUNNY visions, and some UGLY memories, too! Talk about havin' to clean up some crap, it was useless. Rather, I decided to just go out and buy new underware! HAHAHA

Yep, here's one of those, Voltaire.

The first airplane I ever flew in was an Ercoupe (Isn't that the one where the rudders are connected to the yoke as well as the ailerons?). It was a 'bucket o' bolts' for sure. The pilot was my husband-to-be. He'd recently acquired his license through ROTC at OK State and was so proud of himself. He was going to fly me down to southern OK to meet his family. The plane was a rental at the local airport, the cheapest/hr. Soon found out why. That sucker spouted oil so profusely we had to stop every hour to clean off the windshield! The price was a joke, too. It flew so-o-o slow. In OK, if you don't fly somethin' with a decent airspeed, you can be goin' backward! After all was said and done, he might as well have rented the Cardinal! I ended up marryin' him anyway, but lookin' back, I think it was an omen.

ps- Somethin' about that man. When he was flyin' (as the pilot) he would always 'fiddle' with his moustache, most usually pull hairs out one-by-one. Made me NERVOUS AS A CAT! Now I hate flying and I hate moustaches! (Do you have a moustache?)

Voltaire,

You want psychology? I've got psychology for you. KIDE - 4kids Entertainment (THE Pokemon stock) released earnings last week. They reported .71c vs .07c for the prior year. Current PE is under 10 with the company growing hundreds of percent a year. The short position is about 50% of shares outstanding because all these people think Pokemon is dead or about to die. Well, another movie is coming out July 21st. Last time a movie came out, stock ran to 93. Stock is now at 23 1/8 and Pokemon is far from dying. Two weeks ago, Topps said they were expecting Pokemon sales of 70-80 million for the year but they misjudged demand and now expect 70-80 million for first quarter. I think movie, short position, low pe and earnings growth all have makings of psychology that will make KIDE scream as the movie comes around. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. This is a market for story stocks and there is definitely one heck of a story here.
